    Add On Trim/Tilt sender for a Force 85HP engine?

    When I bought my used Lowe pontoon boat, I found that I did not have a Trim sender on the Engine. Has anyone ever found an add on kit for a Force 85hp engine? Thanks.

    Side Scan Transducer Placement

    I need some advice on an idea I had. I have tried mounting my All-In-One Transducer on the Bow of my 19ft Pontoon, it comes out of the water when moving or sends up a rooster tail over the front deck depending on the height i set it at. I have tried mounting it on the Stern on the Pontoon...

    Pressurize water jacket when not running? 87" Force 85

    I was wondering if it was possible to pressurize the water jacket by connecting a garden hose to the water pickup tube while the Gear box and pump are out for service? The pump would not be connected so no worry of running it while dry. I know I could not run my jet ski 2-cycle engine on a hose...

    Will having the wrong carb jets make my ski run hot?

    Just put a new carb that I got off Ebay last year on my '93' kawasaki 750SS. When we tried it out in the water, it ran better and faster than it ever has. For about a minute that is! After that it went into limp mode. Got it back to shore and found that the engine was much hotter than it should...

    Strange noise merc GM120 engine

    I have a strange noise :rolleyes: in my GM120. from 2200 rpm to 2500 rpm there is an engine noise that roughly sounds like a loose flywheel cover or some other thin steel. The strange thing is, it only appears within that rpm range and it sounds like it is internal. That is also a very small...

    I have a 120 mercruiser on an Alpha One stern drive which was running ok when I winterized it this year. During the winter I put in new plugs, wires, points (gap set correctly), new oil & filter, stern drive water pump. Went to start it up, would crank but will not start. I have spark at all...

    I was wondering if anyone might have the link to the online mercruiser service manual? Specificaly, I am looking for an exploded view of the gimbal assembly area on my alpha one stern drive.

    Can't get lower unit loose Alpha 1 stern drive

    Looking for some secrets here. I am trying to take off the lower unit on my Alpha 1 to change the water pump. I have all the nuts & bolts off but the unit is "Frozen" on. Celoc's manual says that it may be this way if it has not been off for awhile but they don't give any suggestions for...

    Pro Pulse Prop?

    I am thinking about purchasing a Pro Pulse Adjustable Pitch prop. Has anyone used one of these before? At nearly $200 I want to be sure it would be worth it just to find the pitch I need for my current configuration. As opposed to buying different props until I find the right one.

    1979 Mercruiser GM120 upgrades?

    Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone knew of anything I might be able to do to maximize the performance of my 79' GM120 engine? Just bought this Cruisers Bonanza (20ft, I think), was able to take it out once before it got too cold and these were the results. GPS'd the boat at 34 MPH @ W.O.T. 3900...
